Free Webinar: Reducing Carbon with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), February 28, 12-1pm EST
Event Description
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are a vital tool for architects and developers to reduce carbon embodied emissions in their projects. An EPD is a comprehensive report that provides transparent and verified information on the environmental impact of a product, such as a building material or system. It includes data on the resource consumption, emissions, and waste generated during the product's lifecycle.
GreenHome Institute will review this information to enable architects and developers to make informed decisions about the products they specify and use in their projects.
By utilizing EPDs, architects and developers can reduce the carbon emissions of their projects by selecting materials and systems with lower environmental impacts. They can also compare different products and choose the ones with the lowest environmental impact, promoting a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach. Furthermore, EPDs can help architects and developers meet sustainability requirements and certifications, such as LEED, GreenStar Homes and BREEAM. Incorporating EPDs in every stage of a project, from design to construction and operation, can help architects and developers optimize the environmental performance of their projects. This includes specifying products with low environmental impact, monitoring and reducing resource consumption, and managing waste and emissions. By doing so, architects and developers can contribute to a more sustainable future for our planet.
Lessons Learned
1. Understand reducing carbon embodied emissions through the use of EPDs, architects and developers can promote the health of our planet and meet LEED BD+C V4 Homes IN Building product disclosure and optimization - EPDS Credits
2. Review the utilization EPDs in every stage of a project can help architects and developers optimize the welfare of the environment and achieve LEED BD+C V4 New Construction Building product disclosure and optimization - EPDS Credits
3. Determine how incorporating EPDs can help architects and developers meet sustainability requirements and certifications, promoting both safety and sustainability while obtaining LEED BD+C V4 Homes IN Building product disclosure and optimization - EPDS Credits.
4. Analyze how materials and systems with lower environmental impacts, architects and developers can contribute to the long-term health, welfare, and safety of our planet.
